“Creative Director” or “Head of Creative”?
13-year career spanning both agency and brand side. I’m considering a role that would take me back in-house and wondering if I should ask about the title in negotiation. Does one or the other feel more appropriate / weighty for building and leading an internal creative team, managing agency partners, etc.

Which looks best on a resume? Depends on what you want to focus on - management of a creative department or team, Head of Creative or hands on creator of creative strategy for projects and or campaigns possibly managing people, Creative Director.

Head of creative IMO sounds more weighted toward what you described.

Role: PM, 10 yrs

I am not getting any response on my posts..I'm feeling depressed due to my bad luck. I have only 1 month noticeperiod left & had only 1 offer in hand with 40CTC. Right now my current salary is too low which is 27LPA with 14 yrs of exp and working as Data scientist. I am getting very few interview calls. Not able to decide whether to join that 40CTC or need to withdraw my resignation. The problem with current offer is job in another location with 3mnts wfh option.
Please pour your suggestions!!!

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
